this.” Balto knew it was Cronos. Tiring to eat raw meat I guess.

 

“What does literally mean?” Spirit eagerly asked.

 

“It means if I remember right, accurately.” Cronos answered.

 

“Oh, ok why are having a tough what ever that means, eating a rabbit?” Spirit oddly asked.

 

Balto heard Cronos give a small groan; Balto made a small laugh, “I’ve never ate one before.”

 

“Then I’ll have it.” Spirit answered.

 

“No.” Cronos firmly answered, Balto could hear him take a bite. “It’s not to bad, real bloody.”

 

“Not really I think a caribou has a lot more.” Spirit commented. Balto heard Cronos give a slight sigh of disgust. He heard Spirit laugh. “Your mom and your brother eat better than you do.”

 

“Hey, I’m just a little slow. I’m slower at things! That’s why I’m a.” Cronos cut himself off. “It’s nothing.”

 

Balto finely just decided to wake up. He stood up and yawned. He saw Cinder look his way he hit a pebble to make the two pups chase it. Cinder walked over to his father. “Hey I have a question.”

 

“What is Cinder?” Balto asked his son.

 

Cinder raised his voice, “When I was teething on you, why, why! Didn’t you tell it freaken hurt!”

 

Balto laughed, “Just because I loved you too much to say anything.”

 

Cinder scoffed, “You should have just told me. Save your pain, it really hurts.”  

Balto put a paw on his sons head, “You’ll under stand some day.”

 

Cinder used his paw to take off his fathers paw off his head, “I’ll tell em it hurts.”

 

Balto smirked, “That’s what your mother thought, did she tell you stop at all.”

 

Cinder paused, “What is wrong with you two.”

 

Balto chuckled, “Trust me, nothing is what it seems in parenthood.”

 

“Not for me nothing surprises me.” Cinder remarked.

 

“The polar bears.” Balto remarked back.

 

“Hey they were bears, parenthood or mate hood what ever, it’s smaller than a bear or bears.” Cinder answered.

 

Balto shook his head, “Not really, not by a long shot. I’ll tell you that ahead of time.”

 

Cinder shook his head, and went to the other two pups. Balto smiled your in for a huge surprise. Balto went over to Cronos; Spirit was right next to him.

 

“I don’t see your problem in eating an animal, I mean it’s sad that’s a rabbit.” Spirit told Cronos. Balto saw Cronos gingerly eating the rabbit.

 

“Every one has different passes.” Balto said to Spirit as he went next to Cronos. “Having a new one?”

 

Cronos nodded his head, “Yeah, this is new. But every day is new so.”

 

“Do like rabbit?” Spirit interrupted Cronos.

 

“Short of.” Cronos answered.

 

“Well I’ll leave you two.” Balto commented as left. He could see Jenna at the head of the den. Balto winched at coming over to her. I got myself more glory yesterday, she is right, about me.

 

Balto sat a little way from Jenna; he looked forward evading eye contact. “I guess you’re right about me Jenna.” Balto want to look at her but refused to.

 

“Balto…” Jenna stated but Balto continued.

 

Balto sighed, “I’m sorry Jenna I did know if I did nothing we could leave, but that alpha wolf I killed, brought us in it for real.”

 

Balto looked at the ground feeling sorry for what he did, “I hated that wolf for some reason, I didn’t know why. I made a promise to not let Cygnus die, he tried to kill him so I did what I did I killed him.” Balto let a breath out. “Then Hector was about to be killed so I…killed that huge wolf, then I just stayed and fought, when it was over.”

 

Balto took a glance at Jenna, “Then I saw the true brutality of this war, I watched families wait for hours waiting for their mates to return, pups waiting for their mothers and fathers, one I followed he found his parents dead, I took him to Arcux.”

 

Balto looked away, “I fear I might be one of them, and I saw Blood Wraith, he’s the one who wants all of us dead, I must say the truth I want to kill him, I hate what he does.”

 

Jenna finely spoke, “Why do want to kill for what he does?”

 

Balto anger twitched, “when he wants to fight someone he kills there family first, he done that a lot already and I’m on the list, so you know what position you’re in.” Balto could see him, his red eyes and black fur.

 

Balto looked to sky, “I’m sorry Jenna, it’s my fault you’re here, I’m so sorry.”

 

Jenna sighed, “It’s not your fault I heard of what you did yesterday, you saved Atria all by yourself.”

 

Balto closed his eyes, “I wish I didn’t, I all ways do the impossible. I wish I couldn’t.”

 

“It’s what makes you, you Balto I don’t want that to change.” Balto felt Jenna nuzzle him. Balto felt relaxed.

 

“For show petty for I can’t control my brain!” Hector shouted out, he ran up to Balto, “If you see Loresa tell her I said, uh, I went left k.” Hector ran to his left after that. Balto and Jenna were confused.

 

Shortly after Loresa came across them running, “Where did Hector go.”

 

Balto blinked, “To the left.” Loresa was about to turn right but turned the left and ran down. “What was that?”

 

Jenna made a small laugh “Don’t remember?” Balto shook his head, “Hector told us when he made fun of Loresa she would hit him, Hector not wanting to get hit ran away, she would chase but would stop at their den knowing Hector would have to come back some time.”

 

Balto smiled as he remembered when Hector told them that, Balto suddenly remembered that he hadn’t told Jenna when the three wolves attacked him. Best keep it a secret.

 

Tokala’s wolves

 

An up roar he shot awake had waked Tokala up. “What’s going on?”

 

Corbett came to him, “Just listen!”

 

Tokala paused heard the wolves talking, “Astro is dead!”

 

Tokala was shocked, “How?”

 

“We should talk to Cu’can.” Corbett suggested, “He’s at the scene.”

 

They both rushed to the scene, Cu’can was looking at the bit mark on Astro’s neck. “It doesn’t make sense.”

 

Cu’can heard Corbett, “How did he die?”

 

Cu’can looked around, “Who ever it is…it’s the same as the one who killed Seen.” Cu’can started to follow the tracks, “That six month old pup is here! And to top it Astro fought the guy, and lost.”

 

Tokala looked at the tracks he saw the movements of the two fighting. “How could a pup do that? Astro was one our best fighters.”

 

“Well looks like not to beat a pup.” Corbett commented.

 

Tokala looked at Astro’s body, “delay everything I want this pup found, and send Leaf to look around with 25 wolves to the west in three days.”

 

Blood Shadow was rather pleased with his passing, soon with Procyon gone, that will be the chance when I can storm and take Balto’s family, then when he comes for them I’ll kill them in front of him, his wolf blood will become rage. Then I’ll have a decent fight.

 

Act two, the Falling.

 

Procyon looked out across the plain, it has been three days and Tokala has yet to show himself. “It’s too quiet.”

 

Atria went next to his side, “I know how you feel, but we have to stay defensive I know it’s not that easy.”

 

“I know that, Atria it’s with this wait, I know soon my father will send for an attack, but his ordered a scouting trip today, with fifty wolves, I’m in it. To lead the group.” Procyon sighed, “Something is telling me to stay.”

 

“Then tell your father no. I don’t want you go please don’t let some one take your place!” Atria protested.

 

“What’s wrong Atria?” Procyon worriedly asked.

 

“It’s just the dream I had last night you died, I don’t want it to happen if they do attack you it be 600 vs. 50, you’ll die.” Atria cried in his fur.

 

“If we meet them well run don’t worry, I’ll run all the way to your fur don’t worry.” Procyon nuzzled her neck.

 

Leaf had been assigned to look for the wolf pup that day but refused without his fathers saying. Blood Shadow went to Altair.

 

“Altair you have let your son do something, I mean it’s not like he’s fighting anyone.” Blood Shadow started.

 

“I don’t care I don’t want him going.” Altair interrupted.

 

“Why did you come here it wasn’t for fame or anything you want too see your children. But leaf is grown up now he found you, you have to let him live his life.” Blood Shadow fought with
